Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 2 1/2" Schedule 40 brass threaded pipe nipple solves critical engineering challenges in industrial fluid and gas handling systems. The seamless 230 brass construction combined with NPT threading on both ends eliminates common failure points in high-vibration environments, preventing leaks in compressed air systems, steam lines, and natural gas distribution. For plumbing engineers, the NSF/ANSI 61 compliance ensures safe integration into drinking water networks without corrosion concerns. The material's inherent resistance to scale buildup and dezincification makes this brass pipe nipple ideal for long-term installations where maintenance access is limited, particularly in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and municipal water systems requiring reliable threaded connections that withstand thermal cycling and pressure fluctuations.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This brass threaded pipe nipple features precision NPT threads manufactured to standard pipe threading specifications with dimensions of 2 1/2" pipe size, 2.469" ID, 2 7/8" OD, and 0.203" wall thickness in Schedule 40. The component complies with ASTM B687 material specifications for brass pipe and meets NSF/ANSI 61 standards for drinking water system components. Environmental compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) adherence, ensuring restricted substance-free construction suitable for global industrial applications with Class 125 bronze fittings and Class 150 brass flanges.
